Best as I can tell, CBS broke perhaps once early during the outage, mainly to get their own facilities reset or otherwise able to broadcast. When the lights went, their audio feed went as well.
Not sure that answers your question. Based on the lack of notable commercials in my area (DC) for halftime, I don't think early 3rd quarter is prime ad space.
